Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Chapter 31 Creation Engine Blueprint

"How lucky!"

Najenda looked at Clara, who was talking to Akame and the others. Having someone like Swallow protecting her all along was indeed a kind of luck that ordinary people didn't have.

It must be because of Schwarz's protection that she was able to grow up safely.

Given the current state of the empire, a beauty like Clara is easily targeted by those guys. Just like when the girl arrived in the capital, she was already being watched by several groups of people.

While Lubbock was investigating Clara, he didn't find anything else, but instead discovered that several nobles were secretly watching her.

Even if Clara hadn't gone back with Arya, other nobles would have intervened.

"..."

Seemingly sensing Najenda's gaze, Clara returned her a sweet smile. That angelic smile startled Najenda, who then smiled back.

She liked this adorable child very much, even without the reason that Schwarzman was involved.

Then she thought of some other situations.

There are many children in this world as lovely as Clara, but they are not as lucky as Clara.

At the same age, they suffered unnecessary torment.

However, the empire had already decayed because those merchants and nobles had been trying to satisfy their perverse desires.

It was for this reason that, after the resistance repeatedly presented her with blueprints for creating a better world after overthrowing the empire, she resolutely gave up her position as an imperial general and defected from the empire to join the revolutionary army.

Although she sometimes doubted whether the Revolutionary Army's leadership would really create a peaceful and stable country after overthrowing the Empire, as they had described to her.

But now that she has come this far, she has no choice but to follow her beliefs and usher in a new era.

……

"Clara, this is your room from now on. See if you like it. If you don't, you can change it."

As arranged by Najenda, Mine led Clara to a room that no one had ever stayed in. The room wasn't very big, but it was decorated very warmly.

It exudes a youthful vibe, and you can tell it was made with great care.

"Clara really likes it, so this is the one."

Clara looked around the room and nodded in satisfaction.

She didn't put this much effort into her own little base; it was mostly used to store materials for making mechanical artifacts later.

"As long as you like it."

"If you need anything, you can just tell me. Of course, you can also tell Akame and the others. They will try their best to meet your needs."

Because of Najenda's high regard for Clara, Mine also seems to value her highly, and she has a strong sense of belonging to Night Raid.

After all, even her Teigu was given to her by the boss Najenda.

"Well, I will."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go take care of my own things now."

"Go ahead and get busy. Clara can manage on her own here."

Upon hearing Mine's words, Clara said it was alright and told her to go about her own business.

After Mine left, Clara lay down on the bed, feeling a little dazed. She'd joined Night Raid just like that. But this was what she wanted; she liked the members of Night Raid, although… it was only limited to Night Raid.

Excluding the revolutionary army behind them.

"I have points again. I hope I can draw something good."

Clara checked her previously earned points, which she hadn't touched yet.

[(Achievement) Massacred the entire family, eliminating over a hundred members of Arya's household, leaving no one alive, earning 1000 points.]

[(Achievement) Save Sayo and Ieyasu, changing their fate of death, and earn 300 points.]

[(Achievement) Defeat Akame, Brand, and Leone to gain 600 points.]

[(Achievement) Joined Night Raid, earned 500 points.]

Including the dangerous species and earth dragon that were dealt with at the beginning, the current score is 2565 points.

"How about I try my luck with a 10-pull? My first 10-pull in this new world."

Thinking of this, Clara suddenly sat up in bed, unable to contain herself any longer. Previously, her desire to improve her destiny stemmed from concerns that the world was too dangerous; now, having learned about the situation, that sense of crisis had vanished.

Mr. Schwarzlo can handle it.

So my interest in gacha pulls started to stir again.

"Draw a card, activate!"

Without hesitation, I immediately unleashed a ten-pull, and naturally, it turned purple.

However, she became happy when she saw the number of purple ones.

Three purples!

【(Blue) Mechanical parts】

[(Blue) Automaton - Grizzly Wreck]

[(Blue) Automaton Beetle Main Unit Parts]

Bronya's (Blue) Black Stockings

[(Purple) Next Generation Yuangu Core]

Cocolia's Black Stockings (Blue)

[(Blue) Ancient Axle]

[(Blue) Ancient Engine]

[(Purple) Creation Engine Blueprint]

[(Purple) Yongshou Rongzhi]

……

"what?"

Clara looked at the ten items in surprise and found that they were very different from the items in the previous world.

Most of them were related to Belloberg's mechanical creations. But these were exactly what Clara needed most.

This is really good luck.

Clara then used the remaining points from her less than ten draws, but unfortunately, she didn't get any purple items. However, she did get quite a few parts for Automaton.

"With these parts, Clara can repair and restore them!"

After carefully examining the items she had drawn, she realized that although they were either wreckage or parts, they could complement each other and be reassembled into the automaton she wanted.

Instead of starting from scratch, this is much simpler and takes very little time.

Besides these blue items, the three purple items are also very important.

Although Clara is very skilled in mechanics, she definitely couldn't create Belloborg's creation engine.

But now that she has the blueprint, things are different; she now has the possibility of creating a creation engine.

When the time comes to face the young emperor's supreme imperial weapon, the appearance of the Creation Engine will let the world know what the true guardian mechanism of the nation is.

The other two purple items, the Next Generation Primal Core, can be used to create more powerful mechanical creations, and can also be used to power the creation engine, but one may not be enough.

Eikohō Eikohō is also quite remarkable.

【Yongshou Rongzhi】

Description: The withered and flourishing branches of an ancient divine object.

The source of the immortal species "Endless Lifespan" on the Immortal Ship, and the remnant of the miracle of "Abundance".

……

Although it is far inferior to the Immortal God's Essence, it is still a very rare item.

Clara put everything away and took out the Automaton-related items she had drawn, ready to start repairing them now.

Try a complete repair and restart the computer.

Chapter 32 Automaton Spiders and Beetles

Creating mechanical artifacts from scratch might be a bit challenging for Clara, which is why she hasn't officially started yet.

It lacks core materials and power sources.

However, repairing the existing automatons was far too easy for Clara.

It only took Clara a little over an hour to successfully repair the two automatons.

They are the Automaton "Beetle" and the Automaton "Spider".

Because it's just a repair, she can't change the mechanism of the mechanical creation; otherwise, she could directly create mechanical creatures of other shapes.

Both of these mechanical beings are automated machine units cobbled together using technology left over from the old world.

The beetle's limbs, which are responsible for movement, are equipped with signal lights, suggesting they were once used for gathering or construction. In combat, the automaton "Beetle" creates a field shield to protect itself.

Spiders, on the other hand, are responsible for performing the most basic physical labor in place of humans.

However, because the power of the automaton "Spider" is very unstable, it is prone to self-destruction when damaged, making it suitable for self-destruction.

"Welcome to this new world."

Clara turned on the two mechanical beings and acted very enthusiastically. She didn't treat them completely as machines, but as friends.
